Business Wire
News Highlights:
- Communications service providers are
evolving their network architectures driven by the introduction of
Voice over LTE, Voice over Wi-Fi, WebRTC and interactive video
communication services.
- All of these disparate services require
new complex HD audio and video codecs that increase the need for
transcoding to support service interoperability between legacy and
next-generation devices and networks.
- Radisys’ new Transcode Resource
Function (TRF) decouples transcoding from legacy network elements,
extending the life of legacy equipment and future-proofing the
network architecture, while concurrently delivering up to 60% CapEx
and OpEx savings.
- Radisys’ MediaEngine TRF solutions,
including the TRF-12000 DSP optimized platform and the Virtualized
TRF (vTRF) software only solution, provide communications service
providers with flexible deployment and scalability options, while
positioning operators for their shift to telecom cloud
architectures.
- Radisys’ TRF solutions are field proven
and deployed globally today.
Radisys® Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), the services acceleration
company, today announced the addition of two new products to its
MediaEngine™ portfolio. Radisys’ MediaEngine Transcode Resource
Function (TRF) products allow communications service providers to
deploy transcoding as an adjunct function which scales
independently from, and complements existing legacy network
elements such as session border controllers (SBCs) and media
gateways. By decoupling transcoding from legacy network elements,
communications service providers can reduce the number of
transcoding nodes in their network and eliminate the need for
expensive forklift upgrades typical when adding HD transcoding
capabilities to today’s SBCs and media gateways. Radisys’ TRF is
available now and has been deployed by leading communications
service providers in North America and Asia.
As service providers accelerate their deployments of VoLTE,
VoWiFi and WebRTC interactive services, the need for transcoding is
more important than ever. These new services have introduced
complex high-definition audio and advanced video codecs into the
network, leading to the need for more real-time transcoding and
transrating to support service interworking and interoperability
between legacy and modern devices and networks. Traditionally,
media gateways and SBCs have performed network transcoding
functions, but few are designed for today’s complex codecs. When
new codecs are introduced such as EVS or Opus, communications
service providers often need to perform expensive and
time-consuming forklift upgrades for their networks. Radisys’ TRF
allows these operators to deploy transcoding as a distinct,
independently scalable function which addresses their new
transcoding needs as well as extends the life of existing SBCs and
media gateways already deployed in the network.
“Just as we did over 15 years ago when we pioneered the media
server/MRF market, our new transcoding solutions help improve
network architectures, allow communications service providers to
drive down their costs and increase their ability to adapt to
ever-changing market and technical requirements,” said Grant
Henderson, vice president, MediaEngine and Corporate Marketing,
Radisys. “Our new TRF products offer communications service
providers a new, more cost-effective way to deploy transcoding,
while accelerating their transition to software-centric
networks.”
“Radisys has been the leader and key innovator in media
processing technology for over a decade,” said Diane Myers, senior
research director, IHS Markit. “The company’s commitment to
developing an adjunct transcoding approach will allow for
independent scaling and the deployment of new services across media
types, all while protecting SBC investments. Radisys’ TRF is an
exciting addition to the MediaEngine family and a new twist on the
principles of decomposition enabled by the IMS architecture.”
About the MediaEngine™ TRF
Radisys’ MediaEngine TRF is available in both a virtualized
network function and an optimized hardware platform, providing
communications service providers with flexibility to choose the
option that meets their scaling requirements. The MediaEngine
TRF-12000 offers advanced IP media transcoding and transrating
capabilities with the scalability and proven reliability required
to meet the needs of the world’s largest service providers to
deliver HD voice and advanced video services. The MediaEngine
Virtualized TRF (vTRF) delivers carrier-class transcoding in a
software-only offering with performance-tuned virtualization
support, compatibility with NFV architectures, and cloud deployment
capabilities. Radisys’ vTRF can be deployed on any Intel-based
server and supports VMWare, KVM, Openstack and deployment in public
clouds including Amazon EC2.
Both the MediaEngine TRF-12000 and vTRF deliver a breadth of
audio and video features today, including the following:
- Support for a broad range of audio
codecs including EVS – the newest HD audio codec used in mobile
networks, Opus for Over the Top and WebRTC applications, and video
codecs such as VP8 and H.264
- Flexible control interface integration
options, including SIP (RFC 3261) B2BUA in-line call control, and
SIP (RFC 4117) for transcoding under the control of third-party
Telephony Application Servers (TAS) or Call Session Control
Function (CSCF) control
- Advanced voice quality enhancement
(VQE) features, including acoustic echo cancelation, noise
reduction and packet loss concealment
Product Availability
The MediaEngine TRF-12000 and the vTRF are available today.
